True, and the position he plays is more disruptive to a team.
The honest truth is that Rooney has been in decline for quite a while now.
The poor first touch, poor passing ability...those things didnt just spring up now. When he was still scoring goals, whenever anyone tried to bring that up, his defenders constantly threw stats around at why Rooney wasnt so bad.
I understand why we didnt sell him to Chelsea in 2013, but if an overseas team had come in for him then, I would have definitely sold him. The problem is that they werent interested in all. When asked about Rooney in 2013, Michael Sammer of Bayern said that they werent interested in him as they couldnt see what he could add to the club. That was 2 years ago.

You think the opinion you put forward was 'well rounded'? That's laughable.
Anyway, you should get a life. Try to experience the touch of a good woman (or man, whatever floats your boat). Maybe that way you won't be so obsessed with trying to win pointless internet battles on here all day everyday.
Good luck!
Moyes has ruined United in more ways. The biggest mistake of his was giving Rooney a big contract. One of my favorite players to turn up for United. Serves me right. Always adored Giggs and Rooney and they both turn up to be the worst character / players United have in the dressing room currently.
Do not give a damn about how great Rooney was. United are being left behind. Seeing Bayern, Barca, Madrid, City and even Liverpool (for god's sake) play football that's great on the eye hurts. The other 4 also win playing such football.
We are so crap up front due to Rooney's inclusion. LVG just needs to kick him out. Enough of this guy. No need for a fecking testimonial.

Already have that. Cheers. I don't try to battle. I try to converse and discuss instead of petulant abuse and squabbling like you.Hope it gives you happiness either way. Bah-bye.

Why does he give so few interviews after the games, especially when we lose. He's supposed to be the captain. Even on social media he just goes silent, almost no messages of encouragement or apologies for a bad performance. Van Gaal has to face the press multiple times a week and so should Wayne.
I clipped this graphic out of the celebratory "500 games" promotion the club did for Wayne. Hidden in all the numbers is a graph showing his peak and subsequent decline. The graph shows the number of goals he scored in each 50 game period of his career.
His peak goalscoring is 150 games in the past.

Pretty weird thing to pick up but did anybody else notice that he's late for crosses in the box? Not in as he's not in the box but when a cross comes, he's doing the nod that's supposed to attack the ball with his head (you know, he's simply attacking the ball with his head) either too early or too late, resulting in looking like a proper idiot.
I'm pretty sure it will be visible in extended highlights from last couple of games.

In the last game he also resorted in running to the sideline when a cross was incoming in the last seconds of the game. The Rooney of old used to run into the box whenever he got the chance. All in all, he is not the only reason for the current state of this United.

Even for Martial's goal, his jump is so mistimed it's unreal. Whenever I wanted to take a piss out of my mates when we played football (I'm not tall so usually I was hardly any good during corners) I did things like that. It's like he's 'just pretending' not to be accused of doing feck all.
Sack LvG.
Rooney as player / manager till end of season, who's with me?

Coleen.
LVG.
He already is one.
He can hardly be expected to manage both the first team and the kitchen staff.

More importantly, this is now the joint worst spell of his career.
Were Liverpool playing great football In the 3-0 defeat to Watford, or the stolen 2-2 draw v West Brom out of interest?
but it's probably arguably the worst team we've had in his time here, now and the Moyes year
Maybe if Rooney were any good, this team wouldn't be the worst in his time? He is the main man in attack and he is shit. How could we have a good team? Him being a guaranteed starter is a big reason why we didn't strengthen enough our attack in the summer.
I'd like to see us as an attack based team before finally writing him off.
I can't imagine many strikers exactly fill their boots in this style of team
Formations, tactics etc don't change the fact he can barely control the ball or make simple passes. So many of our attacks have broken down because Rooney has been unable to do those two things all season.
This guy has two assists all season and he didn't mean either of them, it's ridiculous.
Well, it is easy to see that Martial is much better than Rooney. Why a kid playing his first season at United is much better than the supposed main man in attack? Because Rooney isn't good enough to play for United anymore. United deserve much better.
Falcao and RVP weren't good in this system (still better than Rooney, especially RvP, Falcao had a much better league goals/assists to min. ratio) and they aren't good in their new teams. It is not about the system. Falcao and RvP were poor under LvG because they are past it, simple as that. The system has nothing to do with Rooney's slow reactions, poor touch, inability to turn players, etc. etc.
Wayne needs to play on the edge vs Stoke - he is twice the player when he has the bit between his teeth and a bit of anger in his game - need him to set the tone against Stoke if there's any juice left in that tank!
Playing in attack based team is not going to make Rooney's awful touch or his lack of pace or strength suddenly change, he's physically shot.
You know what i mean. They have played some good football with the new manager in. Liverpool might not even qualify for the CL this season but there is a renewed sense of vigor at that club. Next season with proper buys, they might even go ahead of United.
United's morale and football is at an all time low even when we were in a worse position in terms of points (i think)
I want LVG to retire with dignity. I hope he kicks Rooney out of the team but it's a long shot.
agree. I think Mourinho will get the best out of him.
Oh God not this stuff again. That will be the next excuse for Rooney, oh well of course he played like shite there he's adapting to Mourinho's tactics. He'll need 6 or 7 games to get up to speed.
He's finished, Mourinho could get the best of what left of his talent and it still wouldn't be good enough.
Supporters thinking regime or playing style changes will breathe new life into Rooney, are going to be disappointed.
If some of you can't see that 50/50 balls are now "candy from a baby" confrontations ( he moves like he's up to his ankles in mud) then you need to go to spec savers!

Just like he got the best out of Falcao right ?
and yes, Rooney has looked as bad as Falcao did for us last year. Even worse at times.
Exclusive interview about to start on SSN. Announcing his retirement would be an early Christmas present.
'im delight-deligth-delightndtdn to anonce that i'm new club mangager, director of football or something and captain'.
You're both deluded as feck.
Standard interview, we're behind the manager, criticism hurts, we're working hard.
You must be on a WUM mate. How much more can Mourinho do than hasn't been done for Wayne already? He's been made captain, is played constantly although not performing. He's been shiftet around various positions just to get the "best" out of him. Just that he has been pretty wank in every one of them. THere is nothing to come from Wayne ROoney anymore. He's physically done.
I missed it, what did the little shit say?
Missed it but he still looks like he's been on the beers...
